7Mind: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

7Mind is a German meditation and mindfulness app from 7Mind GmbH in Berlin. The offer consists of guided meditations and short sessions on stress, sleep and focus, created by psychologists. The service is delivered as a mobile app. Health insurers, schools and employers can also provide the app to their members, students or staff.

7Mind GmbH is based in Berlin and is a subsidiary of the 7NXT group, in which the private equity fund Oakley Capital Origin Fund holds a majority stake. The privacy statement names Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud as hosting providers but does not state the regions where data is kept. Several monitoring and infrastructure services, including Cloudflare and Sentry, are US companies that rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses. For a European organisation, this means a European operator with a processor chain that also includes US companies.

Why digital sovereignty matters with 7Mind

7Mind is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

7Mind hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

7Mind is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs 7Mind together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
